Today is the feast of St. Nicholas. It’s also the fifth anniversary of Res Studiorum et Ludorum’s inaugural post. As a result of this coincidence I’ve sometimes thought of St. Nicholas as the unofficial patron saint of this blog. Every new post is like a Christmas present (maybe)!

Anyway, that means I’ve been consistently blogging for half a decade. It’s peanuts compared to the veterans out there, but still kinda shocking to realize.
